Many thanks to Jimmie's granddaughter Joanna for the pictures and information.

Derik,

Thank
you so much for sending me the songs. It is definitely a coincidence
that you posted about him on your blog just a few days before his
passing. Unfortunately I don't have much information on his preforming
days, but I can share with you what I do know. His name was James Longo
but he went by Jimmie Karlin as his stage name. He loved Johnny Cash and
had the opportunity to open for him when he preformed in Utica, NY. He
also had a passion for breeding and flying pigeons. His obituary has
some more information about his life if you are interested in reading.

I also included a few pictures of him and one of his guitars. Please
feel free to email me if you have anymore questions and I will try my
best to answer them. I would also love to see your finalized blog post
if you choose to update it.

Have You Really Gone
Please Don't Walk Upon My Heart

Note: A happy ending to the recent youtube drama. The youtube uploader and I have buried the hatchet and have decided to work together, not against each other. So there's proof civility can go a long way. I will continue to distribute the audio files via email, because there are others on youtube who would take my files. So far I have 13 people on the email list. Send me an email to be added. sllblogspot@gmail.com

Using photos and information from the artist's nephew Lester, I am updating this post and moving it to the top of the feed. Original posting was 10/28/11. Thanks Lester.

Hi Derik,

Found your email on current
post. Here are a couple of pics of Marvin & one is with his wife,
Novalene. He was born Marvin Leon Roberts on Aug 13, 1936 in Atchison,
KS & died Aug 5, 2003 in Arkansas. From what I can
remember these songs were played on the radio for a while but then
pulled off because they found out his band was not a union band. He
loved music. He won numerous music competitions.

Note: So far only 5 people have asked to be added to the email list. Please email me to be added. I will not be posting audio on this blog anymore. You must be on the email list to get the audio files.

About Me

Transferring forgotten records into digital format. I especially seek music unavailable on cd, and do my best to post music unavailable elsewhere on the internet. If someone else has posted music, you probably won't see it repeated here unless my audio transfer is superior to theirs.

For access to the audio files of these records, you must send me an email requesting permission to be put on the email list. This is to avoid youtubers who were making money off my work. You can request any audio files from any blog post I've ever done.
